Good point. Here's the definition of homograph from the OED:

"Philol. A word of the same spelling as another, but of different origin
and meaning."

According tho Wikipedia:

  "Lead the metal and lead the verb, or moped the motorized bicycle  
and moped the past tense of mope are examples of homographs; they are  
not homophones, because they are pronounced differently."

This seems to fulfil your definition.
